New hires' comp is much higher than existing employees', especially if you've hit your cliff. 7 figures for E6 can happen if you joined recently, have good counter-offers, and negotiate. It's not super uncommon but it's also not the median E6 comp.
You can filter the results on levels.fyi. New offers going back a few years are less than 7 figures (even including sign-on bonus).
